Reviews

At the interface of critical academic reflection and faithful church theology, we have no better voice than that of Sam Wells. He invites us to rethink, from the ground up, our abiding temptation to condescending "help and service" to others. He compellingly renders a more excellent way toward the transformative "with." Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary This is a well documented book which reveals how the essential of the message of Jesus helps us all to construct a more human society, based on true and faithful relationships. Not doing for but being with. Samuel Walls with his academic skills and his pastoral heart shows us how confused personalities can become human when there is a true and faithful relationship. Being with is healing. This is a book that should be read by many. Jean Vanier
